A woman shouldn't have to be "PUNISHED with a baby"
My Bible tells me what God thinks about children (see my post about that HERE) and I'm BLESSED to have them!!!!!! CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING!!
Psalm 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward
Not only are children a heritage of the Lord but they are esteemed highly by God:
Psalm 127:4-5
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them.....
I can't wait to see my pregnancy test read positive for a baby! I long for this, God has designed women for this very PURPOSE and I gladly assume my role as to "bear children" and guide my house! You don't have to ask what God's will is for you as a woman, he has already told us what it is in His WORD:
1 Timothy 5:14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
